Adrian

I was still all about understanding the way forward after Paul’s death when Sylvia called me on a Thursday afternoon, telling me that there was some event… a conference I was to be in… and that the event was exactly what I needed.

I wasn't convinced.

"The public attention had moved on," I said, standing by the window of my office and watching traffic crawl along the street below. "Except now, Paul’s death is dangling a noose over my neck. Why do I need another appearance?"

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    A Perfect Night

    EvelynI almost declined Lena’s invitation for the second time, and for several hours after reading her message, I kept telling myself that there was nothing wrong with staying where I was, where the doors were locked and the outside world could not reach me unless I allowed it.After all, my life was coming back together of recent in ways I had not expected. Though I was not yet financially buoyant, I had a job I was anticipating, thanks to Damien who was making all the calls. The public ravaging at me was becoming a thing of the past soon enough. More trends were coming up among these celebrities and there were other people to devour. If I waited long enough, I will be safe… but would they really forget without things being addressed?The memory of the last article still sat uncomfortably close, especially the way I had trusted her to tell my story only to see pieces of it reshaped into something I barely recognized, so the thought of walking into another room filled with journalist

"Except now, Paul’s death is dangling a noose over my neck. Why do I need another appearance?""Because moving on is not the same thing as clearing the air," she replied. "People are no longer actively angry with you, but they haven't forgotten what they think happened. One controlled evening can close that chapter completely, especially now that your legal position is settled."I turned toward her."And what exactly do you expect me to do?""Attend, speak if someone asks you to speak, be seen behaving normally, and don't allow the room to become a courtroom. The event is being attended by industry fig

    EvelynTwo days later, Theo came back.He waited until Damien had stepped into the kitchen before he began speaking, and there was something in the way he sat that made me understand this wasn't another casual family visit."Things have moved," he said."What things?""The family has been talking about the marriage."I felt myself tense."I already told you where I stand.""I know.""Then there's nothing to discuss."Theo shook his head. "There is, because Father knows the situation cannot remain as it is. The legal fight has not removed the underlying agreement, and the pressure from the Parker side is becoming more aggressive. There is now a view that you and Adrian need to present a restored front, at least long enough to stabilize the arrangements that are beginning to fracture."I stared at him."You want me to go back to my husband because your family's investments are in trouble.""I am telling you what the family believes needs to happen.""You are dressing it up, Theo. That's

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    Hollow Victory

    AdrianWhen I returned to the company the following morning, my office door was open. My desk was exactly where I had left it. The chair was mine again. Nobody needed to tell me why. Paul was dead, and whatever argument the board had been having about who should control the company had been settled by the simplest possible fact: there was no longer anyone in that building occupying the position I wanted back. I should have felt relieved. Instead, I felt as though I had inherited something from a man whose death would not stop following me. I called a meeting with the senior board members before noon. Five people arrived. David Klein came in first, his expression already hardened into the sceptical look he had never bothered to hide from me. He had been on the board longer than almost anyone and had always treated my authority as something that needed to be checked rather than admired.

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    In Loving Memory

    AdrianI had been too swift to judge Margaret that I had given myself away and even now, as she asked for answers, I said nothing. Margaret leaned forward slightly. "Where were you, Adrian?" If she was still trying to get the exact confirmation, then I could give it a shot at denial. I looked away. "I was not with Paul." She watched me. I knew the suspicion was already there. There was nothing to be done about that. It was fixed. "I didn't ask whether you were with him. I asked where you were." "I went out." "Where?" "I went for a drive." "Alone?" "Yes." “But when you spoke earlier, after confusing my statement, you said you were there.” She was still gnawing at that fact that slipped. “I was as confused as you were, Mother. Don’t lean this towards me. You know I will never do anything to hurt Paul.” She nodded slowly, as though filing

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    The Man I Once Knew

    EvelynTwo news had hit me in the past two days. The first came the day before. Damien had returned home in the same anger I had only seen on him just once, directed towards Adrian when both men had broken into a fight. He was rattling dishes and sweeping files off the table in fury. “She brought it all to a stop, Evie. Just one phone call and she brought it all to a stop.” He broke down in tears as I pulled him close and embraced him till he lay in my bosom. I had never seen Damien break down this bad and I was moved to tears. To hell with the Parkers. To hell with Margaret. Margaret was a cunning witch and just because she had so much power in high places, didn’t give her the rights to ride over anyone’s life as she wished. I knew that sooner or later, she was going to pay for her deeds. But for now, we just had to stay strong. It’s not like I had not predicted that this would happen. I also tried to warn Damien about going after th
